Hello fellow coders,
I'm just getting into servlet programming because I think it's neat, and I'm
hoping to convert my development team off Oracle PL/SQL (good one, huh)
procedures that spew html over to servlets, of course none of them listen to
anything I have to say so since I'm unmarried without children and am a
liberal, etc...
Anyway, I'm running RedHat linux 6.0/Apache 1.3.9/Jserv 1.1 and am new to
servlet programming.
Let me describe what I'm trying to do.
I have a servlet named "ResultsHandler" that get's called from my index.html
web page. I want to call another servlet named "DBAccessServlet" from
ResultsHandler. From reading Jason Hunter's book "Java Servlet Programming", I
believe the correct way to do this is:
try {
out.println("About to call getServletContext()");
ServletContext context = getServletContext();
out.println("Done calling getServletContext()");
out.println("About to call getServletNames()");
Enumeration names = context.getServletNames();
out.println("Done calling getServletNames()");
out.println("About to iterate through servlet names:");
while (names.hasMoreElements()) {
String name = (String) names.nextElement();
Servlet servlet = context.getServlet(name);
out.println("Servlet name: " + name);
out.println("Servlet class: " + servlet.getClass().getName());
out.println("Servlet info: " + servlet.getServletInfo());
out.println();
}
out.println("What'd we get?");
}
catch (Exception e) {
out.println("Got exception");
out.println(e.getMessage());
}
finally {
}
When I execute this code (reload the page), I get the following output:
About to call getServletContext()
Done calling getServletContext()
About to call getServletNames()
Done calling getServletNames()
About to iterate through servlet names:
What'd we get?
Shouldn't I at least get the name of the servlet from which this code is
called, namely, ResultsHandler? I don't get "Got exception" printed out as
would happen if it caught an exception so I'm assuming that the method is valid
but there are simply no servlets to be found.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
